Post hysterectomy prolapse

Body: 

I am new to this site and find it very interesting. I am very into natural health these days. I have not ordered anything yet because I trying to learn if this will help. I had my uterus and cervix removed about 13 years ago and had not had any trouble. I think I have hit menopause and in trying to bump up my exercises something has shifted inside. Have not been to the doctor yet - am somewhat afraid of what he will say. Just wondering about any suggestions and if it is ok to have sex or will that make it worse. I am not interested at all in any kind of surgery.
Thanks for any helpful suggestions,

Hi Strongbladder

I didn't want to leave your post ignored, so here's my response.

It is not unusual to find a women who has had no adverse effects from hysterectomy. I am very happy for you that you have come this far without trouble. Sad that you are now having to deal with secondary prolapse which is not as straightforward as primary prolapse without surgical alteration.

The success of Wholewoman techniques lies in changing our posture so that our bodies can use their own structure to provide better natural support for pelvic organs. It also lies in tuning our diet so that our digestive system has the best chance of operating smoothly; that our clothing does not compress the abdomen, which allows the abdominal and pelvic organs the maximum amount of space to move around to accommodate, absorb and reflect intraabdominal forces/pressure and keep the pressure off the top of the vagina. We also need to be mindful of how we use furniture and how we accomplish everyday tasks.

The only one of these that has a question mark for you is how your inside supports have been changes, and how that might or might not interfere with your body's ability to utilise postural changes.

You could have a look at the Hystersisters website to see how other women manage, but it seems to us that WW techniques are the only techniques that have the power to help you retain your pelvic organs.

Getting your bladder forwards, onto the pubic bones is the way we do it, so the bladder is not hanging over an abyss. You can try and do that too, and see how far you can take it.

I suggest that you find out exactly what procedures you had all those years ago. Then we can help you to paint a picture of what your pelvic supports are now like.

Hope to hear back from you.
